FUTURE FEMALE PROJECT presents PLAY: FILM INDUSTRY NETWORKING PARTY.
Join us for the launch of PLAY, a new film industry screening and mixer event, to celebrate and promote diversity in filmmaking and surrounding industries.
On 4 Aug, we will host special screening of the film "SWEETHEART" (2021) a funny and tender coming-of-age story about an awkward teenager AJ who is dragged to a coastal holiday park by her dull family, where she finds herself falling for the local lifeguard. This captivating British queer movie directed by first-time feature director MARLEY MORRISON has earned itself nominations and wins, including BIFA breakthrough performance award for lead NELL BARLOW and the Glasgow Film Festival audience award. It also features hyper-talented seasoned actor JO HARTLEY (This is England, After Life) who plays AJ's mother who was also BIFA-nominated for her role in the movie.

After the screening, enjoy the recorded video Q&A by SWEETHEART writer-director MARLEY MORRISON, exclusively provided for the event.
This will be followed by a SCREEN TALK with KEYLEEN, visiting queer filmmaker and co-founder of QUEER FILMMAKERS NETWORK (QFN).
You can then get your creative networking juices flowing with our MIXER where you can connect with fellow film enthusiasts, filmmakers and members of surrounding industries. And you can get involved in our RAFFLE with donations by local creative businesses - all guests receive 1 raffle ticket on entry and can buy more at the venue!
